The village
Five minutes from Conchal. A world away from the resorts.
Brasilito is still a real Costa Rican beach town — fishing boats on the sand, kids playing fútbol in the plaza, and shell-white Conchal a barefoot walk away.
Playa Conchal
Insider tip: enter through the village end — locals park at the soccer field and walk the shore.
Surf at Playa Grande
World-class breaks 20 minutes away. We'll introduce you to the local surf school.
Wildlife everywhere
Scarlet macaws fly over the village at dawn. Yes, really. Monkeys have the right of way.

Rio Celeste and La Leona are our favorite Sunday escapes — under two hours by car.

Questions neighbors get asked
Frequently asked questions
The things every buyer asks us over coffee at the plaza.
Can foreigners own property in Brasilito outright?
Yes — titled (fee-simple) property in Brasilito can be owned 100% by foreigners, with the same rights as Costa Ricans. No residency needed. Beachfront concession land has different rules; we'll flag the difference on every listing we show you.
How close is Brasilito to Playa Conchal, really?
The village sits directly on Brasilito bay, and Conchal's shell-sand beach starts at the south end of town — a 5–10 minute barefoot walk along the shore. No gate, no day pass, no resort wristband.
What does a home in Brasilito realistically cost?
Village condos start around $300K, family homes $450–600K, and titled lots from under $200K. Beachfront and Conchal-adjacent properties run higher. If a deal looks too cheap, it's usually concession land — ask us first.
Is Brasilito a good rental investment?
Proximity to Conchal keeps occupancy strong, especially December–April. Realistic net yields for well-run rentals are 5–7%. We manage homes in the village, so our projections come from our own books — not a developer's deck.
What's the closing process like?
Offer, 5–10% deposit into regulated escrow, title study at the national registry, then closing before a notary — typically 30–60 days end to end. We coordinate the whole chain with bilingual lawyers we've worked with for years.
